Discuss Danfoss Lockshield valves leak after adjusting in the UK Plumbing Forum | Plumbing Advice area at PlumbersForums.net

Heating system is 14 years old. On inspection I find that every lockshield valve is fully open. After adjusting some, I find that they weep slightly from the adjustment screw - valve type is as in attached picture, with only the adjustment screw behind the cap. Leak sealant is in the system - do I rely on this to do its job or is there another tip to make them seal better, or do the valves need to be replaced?

Replaced but they might seal up over time
